What it does
OpenTodo is a free, self-hosted to-do app, and its server can expose an MCP endpoint so an AI assistant can work with the user's tasks. The owner switches the endpoint on in settings; clients then connect to the instance's /mcp URL with a bearer token, through OAuth for apps such as ChatGPT, Gemini and claude.ai, or through a bundled stdio bridge for local clients. Read tools list and search projects, tasks, notes, habits, routines and time entries and give a daily summary. Write tools that create, update, complete or move tasks and manage labels, comments, reminders and notes appear only when the owner allows changes and the assistant uses an agent token; changes are logged and most can be undone.
